Project Perfect Planning: Resources/constraints based method

This is an innovative course that offers a different perspective on how to carry out a schedule and that challenges many concepts related to project management in order to produce a perfect planning.

By tackling the complexity of a project, a new planning method called Resources/Constraints Based Planning is introduced, allowing us to improve the performance of traditional methods and automate the creation and updating of a project schedule.

Throughout the course, we incorporate resources and constraints into the calculation of project timelines. To explain this process, we develop comprehensive examples that show in detail how to apply this new methodology step by step. Afterwards, following each exercise, we analyze and compare the results, demonstrating a significant planning’s improvement in terms of deadline, efficiency, and feasibility.

Resources/Constraints Based Planning is such a disruptive technique that it challenges deeply rooted concepts in Project Management, such as the critical path or dependencies between activities; it suggests improvements to essential tools for schedule development, like the Gantt Chart ; and instead of teaching the use of project planning softwares, such as Primavera P6 or MS Project, it highlights their weaknesses and limitations.

Finally, this course and new methodology automate the planning process, opening the door to the integration of artificial intelligence in Project Management.
